High-performance terminal-style YouTube live chat interface with custom themes, message pruning, and power-user controls.
Terminal Chat: Lightweight YouTube Chat Interface
V0.9.55 is a ground-up rebuild of the YouTube live chat experience. Designed for stability, speed, and deep customization, it replaces the resource-heavy native chat with a high-performance, terminal-style interface.
Core Features
🚀 Performance First: Active DOM pruning keeps the message count under control (default 500), preventing browser lag during long streams.
⏸ Stream Pause & Buffer: Hit the pause button to freeze the chat and read at your own pace. Incoming messages are cached in a background buffer and dumped instantly when you hit play.
🎨 Dual-Tone Theme Engine: Independent color pickers for Usernames and Message Text. A background slider allows you to transition from pitch black to pure white.
🔍 Advanced Filtering: Real-time search to isolate specific keywords or users instantly.
🚨 Keyword Highlighting: Define a list of "High-Alert" words. Any message containing them will flash with a high-contrast background.
📜 Command History: Use the Up/Down Arrows in the chat box to cycle through your sent messages.
📥 Log Export: One-click "Dump Log" button to save your current chat session as a formatted .txt file.
